The spotlight for the NFL Draft is on Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, who have high expectations to be the top two picks on April 24th. However, there is another quarterback who could surprise on the first day.
Former Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart has emerged as a key player in recent days, and after a great NFL Combine, his value has risen. As a result, experts have started to suggest Dart as a potential first-day pick in the Draft.
One of the teams currently in need of a quarterback is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have the 21st pick in the first round. According to sportsbooks and experts like Trevor Sikkema and Jordan Reid, Mike Tomlin's team is favored to select Dart.
It's important to note that reports indicate the Steelers have closely followed several quarterbacks, including the former Ole Miss player, so all eyes will be on Pittsburgh's decision next month.
Jaxson Dart's Career at Ole Miss in the NCAA
Dart had a standout career at Ole Miss, especially when he sured Eli Manning's yardage record at the university. In 2024, he led the SEC with 4,729 yards and had 29 touchdown es. One of his great qualities is his mobility and, above all, his leadership in the locker room.
As the days go by, fans and experts will have divided opinions on the decision the Steelers will make. It's worth noting that the offense features the spectacular George Pickens and the recent arrival of DK Metcalf.
Aaron Rodgers Still on the Steelers' Radar
As with every offseason, Rodgers always makes headlines, and there is no doubt that the Steelers are interested in the veteran quarterback. However, it has been reported that the former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets quarterback will not make a decision until just days before the NFL Draft.
Teams that are on Rodgers' radar include the Steelers, the New York Giants, while the Minnesota Vikings have ruled out that possibility.
